Table Talk: Conversation Cards · Last updated September 25, 2026

This policy describes Table Talk version 1.1.6 and later.

The short version

Dudley Development, LLC operates Table Talk, a free conversation-card app supported by ads and optional one-time purchases. There are no accounts. Your bookmarks and settings stay on your device, and the prompts are bundled in the app. When you first open the app, Apple asks whether Table Talk may track you: your answer decides whether ads can be personalized and, unless you choose otherwise in Settings, whether anonymous usage analytics and crash reports are sent.

What stays on your device

  • Your bookmarks.
  • Your settings: haptics, reminder time, analytics and crash-report choices, and purchase state.
  • Counters the app uses to space out ads and review requests.

Card history is kept only for the session you are in. We do not receive any of this. Deleting the app removes its local data; App Store purchase records stay with Apple so purchases can be restored.

When you first open the app

After the short studio animation, the app shows Apple's standard prompts, with no screen of our own in front of them:

  • Tracking (App Tracking Transparency). No ad is requested until you answer. If you choose Allow, ads may be personalized (see Advertising) and usage analytics and crash reports are switched on. If you choose Ask App Not to Track, ads stay non-personalized and analytics and crash reports are switched off. If you already made an analytics choice in an earlier version, that choice is kept. You can change either switch in Settings at any time.
  • Notifications. Used only for an optional weekly "Table Talk night" reminder (Sunday 6:00 p.m. by default), scheduled on your device. No push server is involved.

Usage analytics (PostHog)

When analytics is on, the app sends a small allowlisted set of coarse events: for example that the app was opened, a session started or ended, a card was advanced, bookmarked or shared, an ad or purchase happened, or content finished loading. Values are bucketed. Events are tied to a random, app-specific ID, not to you; turning analytics off stops sending and resets that ID, and Settings lets you copy the ID for a deletion request. Events are kept for 90 days as individual records and up to 13 months as aggregated statistics.

Crash reports (Sentry)

When crash reports are on and the app crashes, Sentry receives the stack trace and a few coarse technical details (such as app and iOS version and device class). No user profile, breadcrumbs, screenshots or IP address are included. Crash reports are kept for 30 days.

Apple Search Ads attribution

On first open the app asks Apple's AdServices framework for an attribution token, which Apple uses to say whether the install came from an Apple Search Ads campaign. The token comes from Apple and is sent only to Apple. The result is recorded in analytics only if analytics is on.

Sharing a card

When you share a card, Table Talk draws the image on your device and hands it to the standard iOS share sheet. The destination you choose handles it under its own privacy practices.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version shows a banner at the bottom of Home and card sessions, and may show a full-screen ad when you leave a deck session and return to Home, never in the middle of one. Ads are served byGoogle AdMob and, through AdMob mediation, partner networks such as Meta Audience Network.

  • Ads are personalized only if you chose Allow at the tracking prompt and your region is known to be outside the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Otherwise every request is non-personalized with restricted data processing.
  • No ads are requested at all in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland. If your region cannot be determined, ads are non-personalized.
  • Change your tracking answer any time with Settings > Manage tracking in the app, or in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. This is also how to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under US state privacy laws.
  • Google and its partners may process device, coarse location, ad-interaction and diagnostic information to provide and measure ads. Dudley does not receive the advertising identifier and does not combine ad data with the app's analytics. SeeGoogle's advertising policy andGoogle's privacy policy.
  • The Remove Ads purchase removes all ads from the app.

Purchases

Table Talk offers one-time, non-consumable purchases: Remove Ads, the Road Trip, Holiday Table and Kids' Table packs, a bundle of those packs, and the Daily Featured archive. Apple processes payment through StoreKit; we never see your payment details. Purchases can be restored from Settings on any device signed in to the same Apple ID.

Used to track you

Only if you allow tracking: Google AdMob and its mediation partners may then use your device's advertising identifier and ad-interaction data to personalize and measure ads across other companies' apps and websites. If you decline, nothing is used to track you. The app's own analytics and crash reports are never used to track you or linked to your identity. We do not sell your personal data.

Children

Table Talk is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13; the Kids' Table pack is for families to use together. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. There are no accounts, profiles or in-app messaging.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the new version will be posted at this URL with an updated date above.
